Using green packaging is no longer only a trendy public relations move; it is now a smart, profitable business decision.
What is referred to as Green Packaging?
Green packaging involves the use of eco-friendly methods to ship products. In addition to materials or goods. This could include the use of minimal or no plastic. As well as recycled paper or padding. In addition and also less energy consumption. Especially prior to and during the shipment process. As weight is proportional to the amount of fuel used, using less packaging materials is a more environmentally-friendly option.
The Green Packaging website states that
The bottom line of sustainable packaging calls for the implementation of environmentally conscious practices. For that’s such as energy efficiency. In addition to the utilization of recyclable and biodegradable materials, down-gauging, and reusability, among many others.
Take a gander at three major companies that have adopted green packaging.
Be Green Packaging
Be Green Packaging, LLC. has revealed it recently bought a factory to house the first-ever compostable packaging facility based on the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute’s regulations. The facility, located in Santa Barbara, CA, manufactures Cradle to Cradle certified packaging from plant-based materials and is now providing services to several major businesses such as Whole Foods Market, 7-Eleven, and Gillette Razor Company, a subdivision of P&G. At the moment, Be Green’s domestic operations remain limited to two warehouses, one in Boston and the other in Los Angeles. The company is also looking to expand its Chinese production base with the new facility in Ridgeland, SC.
The Oakville Assembly plant of Ford Motor Company has become landfill-free, and this accomplishment is part of the company’s goal to reduce waste-to-landfill by 40 per cent per vehicle produced from 2011 to 2016. Ford has already achieved a 40 per cent reduction in global per vehicle waste-to-landfill from 2007 to 2011.
Crownhill Packaging
Crownhill Packaging LTD. is a wholesaler of packaging services that prides itself on its commitment to the environment. Their clients prioritize reducing waste and protecting natural resources, which is why Crownhill opts for Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) paper certified by the Rainforest Alliance and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). This choice of environmentally friendly materials and products is not only fashionable, but also more economical than regular paper.
